The Cecil Lacrosse League (CLL) has established a partnership
with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) to ensure a positive, character-building experience for all youth athletes. PCA
(Visit PCA - New Window), a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, conducts workshops
for coaches, organizational leaders, and parents involved in schools and sports organizations serving five-to-18-year-old
athletes. PCA also provides workshops for high school athletes.
"Working with hundreds of youth sports organizations around the United States, PCA has developed practical tools
and guidelines to help youth athletes, their coaches and parents get the most out of sports," said Kevin Greene, Vice-Chairman
of the Cecil Lacrosse League. "We recognize the tremendous opportunity for character-building that sports offer for today’s
youth, so we are embracing PCA’s Double-Goal CoachTM model, where winning is one goal and teaching life lessons is the
second, more-important goal."
"We are
delighted to partner with the Cecil Lacrosse League," said PCA Executive Director Jim Thompson. "Together, we’ll
strive to help their youth athletes take a positive approach to pursuing victories in athletic competition and in life."
